I bought Beagle-board xM recently and tried to test it by connecting to my Linux PC using a null-modem serial port cable. Just after connecting, I gave >minicom -o -s -wThen using serial port setup, i set it for 115200 bps, 8N1 (8 bit with 1 stop bit).Both Hardware & Software flow control - No.

Saved the set up as df1. Then powered the Beagle-board, I could see lot of boot related messages and Angstrom OS also loading. (Some time I powered the Beagle-board before doing the minicom setup also).At the end asked for user name. When I tried to enter using my system key-board, same is not reflected in my system display and there is no response from Beagle-board also.

I would like to know how to enable beagle-board xM to respond to my entering of user-name and some where it is mentioned that we can make the beagle board to blink the LEDs. Am I making mistake in configuring the minicom? Kindly let me know.
